I agree with most of what you had to say wholeheartedly - exception Reagan. Not a good president by any means in my book, only painted up pretty, but now really isn't the time to quibble about that with Republicans, since there is so much we can agree on these days.

I also know what you mean about the things we learn here helping us look good to the Republicans we talk to. I was just on vacation with my husband's Aunt who I love dearly, but could not speak to politically for fear of her ripping me to shreds. She is highly intelligent and opinionated, but you know there is that whole respect for your elders thing going on.

So I talked to someone else within her hearing to see what her reaction would be. She told me I really had some intelligent things to say. Now a lot of what I was talking about was absence of media coverage about the War Protests and TruthOut items and such that most people just haven't heard about.

The other thing I get is Republicans looking to me for news updates, because even if they don't sense what exactly is missing on their FAUX news, most people know real news when they hear it and Americans have a craving for it.
